What is the most dangerous weightlifting exercise? Why?
To me...power cleans. Only because you have to be pretty focused to execute a fluid motion, and cleanin heavy weight can have you feelin sore for a few days. Maybe even some back issues.

Have you ever had a lifting injury?
Yes
What type of injury was it? How long were you injured? How did you recover?
I strained my back while doing power cleans. I was feeling it for about a two days. I just rested up and took some ibiprofin. Did the job.

What is the most common reason that somebody gets injured while lifting?
Liftin to much weight or not knowing how to do a lift right. But hey sometimes stuff happens.
Well...I'm getting there. Slowly but surely adding some size and increasing my strength. I've been staying on the perfect push-up and pull-ups and also hittin up the gym on the regular. You can really track your progress w/ the perfect push-ups because the workout are quick, easy, but...
Did you watch the Lakers/Celtics game last night? I stopped watching for a little while near the end (when Celtics were blowing them out by 20+ points), but then came back to the TV and saw Lakers only down by 4 points! Crazy. Luckily I have Tivo so I could rewind and find out what happened. Great game!
